Re: Postage Rate Increase on Jan. 21st?

Thanks, Pearley

 

I had not heard about it. But I guess because I no longer work and mail hundreds of checks, I have lost touch on those sort of things.

Thanks for the reminder!

 

I knew about this, but with all the holidays and the bad weather, it left my mind. 

 

Headed out tomorrow to do some banking and run errands, so I will stop and pick up some!

@PearleeThanks for the reminder! Have been meaning to mail in my check to re-order additional stamps. Guess I'm too late to do that! A quick trip to the PO tomorrow will take care of my needs for a while plus I love selecting various sheets of forever stamps. Smiley Happy

 


@BirkiLady  I ordered some  forever stamps online.  The Elvis stamps are nice...as are the Janis Joplin stamps!

Re: Postage Rate Increase on Jan. 21st?

There was a sign in the PO today my hubby said they are going up..

I have to laugh a few years ago maybe around 8 or so, a friend of ours who is a rural mail man was standing behind me and I didn't know it. I was talking to a lady seated next to me and we were talking about stamps, I said since I pay my bills online and now only email never send letters I hadn't bought a stamp for maybe 2 years.......Well he said " YOU ARE THE REASON THE PO IS IN SUCH POOR SHAPE" I didn't really know what to say to him except, I dont get paper mail much anymore and so I would say I am saving trees.......?? I guess...

I'm glad they're picking an even number. I don't mind the increase. We still mail all our bills. I refuse to do bill pay online. The only thing that comes out of our account "automatically" is Netflix. (As far as paper ie the paper bills, we recycle everything recyclable here)

Yes the rates are increasing.  I went to the PO today to send off a package, and heard of the increase.  Bought a roll of stamps...I was almost out.

@Pearlee

 

I rarely mail letters and expect the forever stamps I already have to last me for years.

 

I’m not sure why we should pay more for increasingly bad mail service...

Thanks for posting @Pearlee.  I just placed an order.


Why is it, when I have a 50/50 guess at something, I'm always 100% wrong?
